There Once Lived a Woman Who Tried to Kill Her Neighbor’s Baby by Ludmilla Petrushevskaya. It’s a real downer

really good the first story is about a woman who turns corpses into marionettes which she uses to gently caress a necrophile on stage but its from the perspective of the current one being used

Ok I’m sold

I just started The School of the Americas: Military Training and Political Violence in the Americas by Leslie Gills. Only 40 pages in, but pretty interesting so far. if anyone has ready any other good books on insurgencies/counter-insurgencies, please let me know :)

I really liked Daniele Ganser’s book on Operation Gladio. And not about counter-insurgency precisely but very relevant and interesting is Henrik Kruger’s book The Great Heroin Coup: Drugs, Intelligence, & International Fascism

I'm reading Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Vaping by some guy. And a pop lit japanese novel called Cult X that at least has a nice cover.

I used that guy’s first book to quit smoking a couple years ago! It was kind of hokey but it worked like a charm

is there any actual method in that book, because i read some of it and it just seemed like 'believe it hard and it will be amazing' kind of stuff

It’s basically that but I decided to just not be cynical and give it a try and it worked for me even though I wanted to roll my eyes. It’s certainly nothing groundbreaking or scientific though

I'm reading The Fifth Season. People have magic that makes earthquakes or something. The writing style isn't great but I'm gonna power through it like I do everything I don't like.

I was very disappointed with that one as well as a couple of her short stories I’ve read. I feel like she is kinda overhyped
